Every kid who had access to a home video camera probably attempted to make at least one movie with their friends. Some of those kids even go on to work in the film industry when they grow up, like Rob Hampton.
Hampton grew up on Cape Cod and was obsessed with Roger Corman and AIP movies. According to an interview with Republibot, when Hampton was a young man, he was gifted a cheap Super 8 camera and immediately began shooting knock-offs of all the movies nerdy kids in the late ‘70s were into: Earthquake, Star Trek, Alien, and Jaws.
